Lastly we went to The Rockefeller Centre at Radio City! We were going to the Top of the Rock! In we went and it started by going DOWN to the basement! Now that was odd! But, tickets collected again we went back up to ground level and ..........yes......we queued again to get in the lift!
The lift came and in we went! Only SEVENTY floors to go up! And the ceiling was GLASS! We watched as we hurtled up and up and up before we slowed to a halt on the observation deck! This was one of three levels and we ot great views of Manhattan from all directions!
We stood and looked out as Central Park sprawled before us and then we went to the other side where we looked straight over to The Empire State! Words failed me! People were snapping away like crazy! It was an awesome way to end the day! We got views just as daylight faded and spectacular views as the lights across the huge metropolis began to illuminate the night sky!!
Having hurtled back down even quicker than we went up we headed out into the evening for tea! We were off to Ellen's Star Diner where you get your meal as being served by 'wannabe' singers and actors who take it in turn to break into song to entertain everyone while hoping some casting director is in the house scouting for new talent for their next Broadway hit!! It was just great! Thanks to Alison who recommended it to us before we went!
Wow! What a day! New York just never stops and either can we if we are going to see even a little of it! We have another day of bedlam lined up tomorrow!!
Night! Help! 1am - I better go sleep or their will be ructions!!
